Physiology & Medicine / Can telomere length predict length of life?

I understand that telomeres on the ends of our chromosomes get shorter as a person ages and the cells finaly die when they reach the Hayflick Limit. Would it not then be possible to predict how much longer a person has potentailly got left to live my examining the length of their telomeres?
